On a walk the other day I was able to get so close to this lizard, I could not believe it how calm and peaceful it was.
I started zooming in with my s21 Samsung phone camera from where I first saw this amazing creature, about five metres away. But then I edged slowly closer until I was only a metre away. I was tempted to reach out and touch him or her but I was sure that would scare both of us way too much.
Basking on an ant hill in the afternoon sun.
Maybe close to 60 cm with it's long tail.
I was able to move around to see both sides of it. This lizard was just not moving! It did not seem scared; it just was not going to miss out on it's perfectly warm spot while waiting for its ant dinner.
I like the dinosaur-like details. So stoked to see this guy. It made my afternoon.
